His Royal Highness Kumaga Jor, the traditional ruler of Yelwata community in Benue State, has welcomes threat by US President President, Donald Trump, to militarily invade the state to stop killings of Christian.
Last week, Trump revealed that he had redesignated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern over alleged genocide against Christians in the nation.
The United States decried killing of Christians in Benu and Plateau States, as well burning of churches and rendering millions of people homeless by Islamic terrorists.
In June this year, about 200 persons were massacred when suspected Fulani gunmen invaded Yelwata.
While speaking with journalists in Makurdi on Thursday, Jor welcomed Trump’s “US military action threat”.
He concurred with Trump that there is ongoing killing of Christians in Nigeria.
According to him, “the attack on his domain as well as other attacks in Benue State were carried out by Muslim terrorists”.
Jor appreciated the US President for coming to the aid of Christians in Nigeria and urged him to expedite action.
According to him, “the situation remains dire as killings go on almost daily with many villages sacked and occupied by the terrorists”.
He expressed sadness that original inhabitants are now taking refuge in Internally Displaced Persons ,IDPs, camps across Benue State.
